Chapter three: Disaster.

Dracula didn't know exactly where she was going. She was too small to be noticed by anyone up above as they went about their business and she went about hers. After what seemed like an hour to her, in actual fact it was five minutes she climbed into a black Nike sports bag and curled herself up into a ball of fluff. After another five minutes the owner of the bag picked it up and proceeded to explore the show just as the Cullens were doing at that very moment in time.

Bella let out a squeal, not incredibly remarkable as she was averaging about 7 squeals per minute at the instant. She jogged over to the west highland terrier display and peered over the wall of a little enclosure at the puppies that lay snoozing at their mother's feet. The Cullens joined her but all of them failed to find anything remarkable before their eyes, all that is except Rosalie who joined in with Bella's screams of delight and immediately turned to Emmett as she had at every stall they had visited.

"Can we get one honey, please?" she said gazing up at him with bright amber eyes. Emmett was startled by her beauty for a moment but then pulled himself together and shook his head disapprovingly.

At that moment the owner of the Nike bag walked right past the Cullens. However the only person who saw or recognized them was Jasper. He debated whether to tell Edward or not but at one glance at Edward's happy face as he watched Bella, who was now holding one of the west highland terrier puppies, being licked furiously he knew not to spoil the wonderful moment.

But the moment was spoiled, half an hour later when the Cullens returned, reasonably cheerful now, to the cage where Dracula was supposed to reside.

Bella stared at the empty space and a tear leaked from her big brown eyes to fall onto Edward's hand which was round her waist. Edward felt the warm splash and his heart broke for her.

"W-where is she?" Bella warbled, not able to keep sobs out of her voice. Edward stared into her eyes and knew if he could he would have cried at this moment. Bella tore her eyes away from the cage and flung her arms around Edward's neck.

"Don't worry Bell" Alice tried to say reassuringly but Bella's sobs doubled and she shook into Edward's chest. Edward shot a frantic look at the others who stood completely non-plussed all except Rosalie who was shaking Emmett's sturdy frame with tearless sobs. Alice's chin wobbled and she also collapsed into Jasper's arms. The three guys stared at their prospective wives and girlfriends.

"We can get you a new puppy." Edward said after a full fifteen minutes of sobbing. Bella raised her head slowly and Edward was scared to see the demonic expression on her face.

"Another one?" Edward struggled to find words. "Another one? I don't want another one I want Drac-ul-ul. . ." she could finish because she collapsed into her arms again.

"Why don't we try to look for her?" Emmett said looking down at a distraught Rosalie.

"We'll never be able to find her." Alice wailed. "She's to small! She is lost forever."

"You didn't even like her." Jasper mumbled. Bella, Rosalie and Bella all shot him insanely angry glares and he backed away from his wife.

"Can't you calm them down?" said Emmett to Jasper.

"I'm trying! Believe me!" Jasper's eyes were almost blood shot and a vein was popping out of his head.

It took a moment for them to notice that Edward and Bella had vanished.

"Now Bella has gone!" Alice screamed and launched herself back on top of Jasper.

What had happened in fact was that Edward had grabbed Bella pulling her away from the others in pursuit of a certain boy he had just recognized, carrying a black nike bag,

AN: This is not the best chapter I have ever written neither is it the longest but it has been a long time in the making so please review!!! I'm begging you, look I'm on my knees which is saying something because I haven't got any, I am a legless Peruvian begger who just happened to find an old rundown laptop in a skip near an alley way and every time you review I get two pence from my neighbor (a rundown drunken sea captain with many a tale to tell) and it goes towards buying a burger from McDonalds. So far I have 87 pence so I only need 7.5 reviews!!! Please give generously.
